Kristin + Marc {Roseville Wedding Photographer, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}

They went out with a group of friends. She with her group and he with his. Kristin took a date. It was all fun, just hanging out with good company for a fun night out. Kristin caught Marc's eye. Marc saw her with her date and asked her out anyway. She said yes. Since then, they've only had eyes for each other.

It's been two years since and they are madly in love. They will be making their love official this June.

I had a great time with these two... they laugh together and totally have fun together..

They are totally sweet individually, but together, well they are eye candy goodness and I'm getting a cavity just looking at them!

Congratulations Kristin + Marc. I won't be photographing your wedding, but I'm honored to be a small part of documenting your everlasting love through your engagment photos.

All the best to the both of you... from, me.

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: SoCal Holiday...

One thing we did when we were spending holidays in SoCal was to get some family portraits done. David and I were late coming back from 29 Palms and the sun was already setting behind the tall mountains at 4pm. We had very limited sun, so we had to work fast.

The kids snapped into place...


and Nana and Grandpa followed accordingly...


We didn't have to go far for a location. Grandpa has always had a knack for finding homes with beautiful views in their backyard...




Nana and the girls...


A nice dinner out at the outdoor terrace...in winter!


and one last evening swim before we had to head home...


David practically stood out dodging the sprinklers for this one...


We miss the beautiful weather that we were spoiled with. Thank you Nana and Grandpa for having us!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: Harmony Motel & Joshua Tree

We ventured out into the city of 29 Palms where the Joshua Tree National Park is located. Specifically to find this sign and to take a picture of it, with us in it of course, just like them, U2.

The problem was that we were in the right place, but that exact sign was gone. A nice man drove by and told us that a couple of owners back, the sign was sold for a pretty sum and it has since been replaced. No matter, David and Jennifer Brotchie were still standing in the same area that Bono, the Edge, Larry and Adam stood when they took that photo, when they were inspired to write the masterpiece that is The Joshua Tree Album. Oh yes, we are cool.

We were rock stars for a couple of hours. We were feelin' it.

Although, I kept giggling. I am not at all comfortable in front of the camera, I'm a nerd. So I'd dial in the settings in the camera, click the timer, pose, wait a few seconds and I'd start laughin' like the nerd that I am.

You know, it's kind of hard to pose yourself without someone telling you how you should pose. That's usually my job: to tell YOU what to do when I'm behind the camera, no matter, I just don't like being told what to do, so I don't think it would have made an ounce of difference what I did.

But I do like how these turned out. I love couples photography. I love engagement photography. I love wedding photography. It's so different to have two people totally engaged and within each other's hemisphere's without any distraction..in our case distraction from our offspring. Thanks Nana and Grampa for letting us go be a couple for a little bit.

So yeah, you need a photographer, holla! 'cuz I can hook you up... big time!

Gosh, I miss that weather... but I did enjoy being on an afternoon date with my guy. Thanks for dragging me out there, babe.


Enjoy the weekend!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: The Dead of Winter... in the Desert....

This was pretty much the end of our 2009 going into 2010. In the California desert, in the middle of winter, beautiful blue skies and temperatures into the 70's. Can you imagine swimming in this gorgeous weather the whole time? That's what my kids did...
they were fish...

they were happy...

If they weren't in the water, they were on the golf course...

getting tips from grandpa...

and grabbing the club...

and giving it a go...

all the while I'd make David go and pose for me...

... and the sky was really that gorgeous as the sun was setting...

...when we wanted a break, we were here, with our feet up...


Happy first Wednesday of Twenty Ten!

{Roseville, Sacramento Wedding Photographer}: Christmas Stuff....

So Christmas Eve started off pretty good...most everything was done, just some last minute cleaning and tidying to be finished and waiting for grandma to come over so that David and I could have one last date night for the year. To pass some time, the kids made Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies for Santa...


We went to midnight mass and Marlena came with. She konked out half way through. But on the way home at 15 passed midnight Christmas morning, the moon was shining behind some clouds just perfectly. To a child's eyes, it really looked like Santa's Sleigh glowing in the sky, and to Marlena, it REALLY WAS SANTA! We hurried home so she could get into bed for Santa to come. It was really so sweet. So all you kids out there that don't believe, mine still does, so don't spoil it please. Anyway, she woke up to find that Santa left her an Ipod Touch. She was outstanding this past year.... that's her realizing what it is that Santa left her...


Isabella and Jensen were equally outstanding and got these...


Jensen was so glad to see the Buzz Lightyear hat and gloves. He thought we forgot them at the store, so he was very happy that Santa found them.


They also got this cool "play anywhere ping-pong" set...


When all the morning festivities settled down, I got busy chef-ing...

not the most flattering photo of me, but, it is what it is...

This little cutie came over, she is my cousin, technically, my children's aunt, even though she is younger than my two oldest... again, it is what it is, she loves to see Bella... we broke out the Nerf'ers....


and all the kids had a shoot out with my cousin Thomas who came over with his wife from Fresno...he's a big kid too... I can't figure out how they got the nerf bullets bullseyed on his glasses...


Dinner was great... I had been cooking all day though, so everyone was happy with appetizers... dinner was a roast, with veggies and potatoes and wine... David and I were blissed out with great, great red wine...

My uncle in the middle, happy with food...


My dad was enjoying the conversation at dinner. When I drink wine, I tend to be a happy, talkative, talker. Talk, talk, talk. I was brave enough to spill some early girlfriend/boyfriend stories that really should have been kept locked away... dad was cool, he kept stoic...


Saturday morning, the kids enjoyed their new prezzies...



and for once, David and I could hold a 20 minute long conversation....

thanks for reading and letting me share.... leave your blog addy so I can read about your Christmas!
